Re: Claude Code 2.0

I'm currently using Goose[1]. My brother in law uses Claude Code and he likes it. It makes me wonder if I'm missing anything. Can anyone tell me if there's any reason I should switch to Claude Code, or comparisons between the two? 1: https://block.github.io/goose/

The only real reason to use Claude Code is the inference plan. The agent itself isn't anything special.

This, but also the usability of the cli, is a step above the others to me. i.e., switching between modes on the fly and having the plan mode easily accessible via shift+tab.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How do checkpoints work ?

You can rewind your context back to the checkpoint

No, that's not the point of this new checkpoints feature. It's already been possible for a while to rewind context in Claude Code by pressing . This feature rewinds code state alongside context:

> Our new checkpoint system automatically saves your code state before each change, and you can instantly rewind to previous versions by tapping Esc twice or using the /rewind command.

Lots of us were doing something like this already with a combination of WIP git commits and rewinding context. This feature just links the two together and eliminates the manual git stuff.

Just use `claude update` if you already have it. Unfortunately, they removed Plan mode, when I could use Opus for planning and Sonnect for coding. Though I will see how this pans out.

is Plan mode any different from telling Claude "this is what I'd like to do, please describe an implementation plan"? that's generally my workflow and I have the results saved into a CLAUDE-X-plan.md. then review the plan and incrementally change it if the initial plan isn't right.

It also limits the tools available, reducing context usage and leaving more room actually to plan.

You can find the revamped prompt on github[1], or on twitter summarized by my bot[2]. [1] https://github.com/marckrenn/cc-mvp-prompts/compare/v1.0.128... [2] https://x.com/CCpromptChanges/status/1972709093874757976

> IMPORTANT: DO NOT ADD * ANY** COMMENTS unless asked* Interesting. This was in the old 1.x prompt, removed for 2.0. But CC would pretty much always add comments in 1.x, something I would never request, and would often have to tell it to stop doing (and it would still do it sometimes even after being told to stop).

I am guessing this is an attempt to save computing resources/tokens?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That is nice, but it makes me wonder how little people actually know and use git nowadays. This is after all, something git really shines at. Still good to see! (It's not like I can't still just use git for that, which I fully intend to do)

That was my first thought too - but this is subtly different, and rewinds the context too. Actually highly useful, because I have often felt like a bad first pass at a solution poisoned my context with Claude.

Ah, thank you, that's a great sublety that I missed before!

I have been using code + vscode extensively for coding, but in the last few months it has been a frustrating downgrade compared to the same prompts and code being pasted into chatGPT.

Is this going to be the way forward? Switching to whichever is better at a task, code base or context?

Can anyone find the prompts for the new "Output style" options, ie Explanatory and Learning?

"When you use Claude Code, we collect feedback, which includes usage data (such as code acceptance or rejections), associated conversation data, and user feedback submitted via the /bug command." So I can opt out of training, but they still save the conversation? Why can't they just not use my data when I pay for things. I am tired of paying, and then them stealing my information. Tell you what, create a free tier th…

Not your model, not your code (in their mind). Self host your models or enjoy folks trying to get the LLM to regurgitate your private codebase.

Tangential, did anybody get FOMO about Aider and found a much better tool?

Still loyal to aider. It just fits my style better, as a very fine tool. I have my workflow and scripts around it, switch freely between gpt-5/sonnet (a bit of gemini-2.5-pro too) and enjoying life.

I wish it was maintained by a larger team though. It has a single maintainer and they seem to be backlogged or working on other stuff. If there was an aider fork that ran forward with capabilities I'd happily switch.

That said, I haven't tried Claude Code firsthand, only saw friends using it. I'm not comfortable letting agents loose on my production codebase.
